(a) The district will hold an annual meeting during the month of October in
every year.
(b) Special meetings of the district shall be called by the
secretary upon order of the board of directors or upon written application of
at least fifteen (15) electors; and whenever the subject of ordering an
assessment is to be acted on at any special meeting, the assessment must be
mentioned in the notice. It is the duty of the secretary to fix a suitable
place for the holding of all meetings and to give notice of each meeting, both
annual and special, by posting a notice in at least one public place within the
town of Tiverton and mailing or hand delivering the notice to each elector in
the district, at least ten (10) days before the meeting, and the notice will
contain a statement of the time and place when and where the meeting will be
held. One notice may be mailed or hand delivered where more than one elector
resides, addressed to all electors there residing. It is the duty of the
secretary of the district to maintain and correct the voting list on a regular
basis, using ownership records of the town of Tiverton.
(c) No vote, except upon an adjournment, or in the annual
election of officers, may be taken at any meeting of the district unless at
least fifteen (15) electors are present at the meeting. On demand of at least
one fifth (1/5) of the qualified electors of the district present at any
meeting for a ballot on any question pending at the meeting, the ballot will be
allowed; and all votes except on motion to adjourn, or on amendment to any
pending proposition, will be required by the secretary to be so taken, the
votes affirmative and negative may be counted by the secretary, and the result
entered by the secretary on the minutes of the meeting.
